It’s the return of one of our favourite Loop traditions! Each year we ask our lovely staff at Loop what they would like to find in their stocking Christmas morning, and they are just as delightful as they are full of great gift ideas.
Every now and then there comes a yarn that has us all Ooh-ing in unison. That’s what happened to the Loop team this week when Stone Wool arrived in the shop.
Every piece of knitwear is like a piece of history. With every stitch, every made piece becomes part of our own story. That yarn you bought on holiday, or that first, wonky piece you made without a pattern. These are memorable pieces. What if you could inject even more of a backstory to your knitting? Hannah Fettig of Knitbot went on a wonderfully inspirational journey this summer, which resulted in Wool Trip – a truly limited edition, small batch yarn with a serious backstory – and now at Loop!
We’re so thrilled the perfect Knit Kit On A String – 21 Color Hat Kit has arrived from Blue Sky Fibres – we’ve been looking forward to having this at Loop since the moment we saw it. It’s the most perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. And we’re giving one away this week!
As a proud European Flagship store for Brooklyn Tweed, Loop is very excited to introduce you to a new member of the yarn family. Say hello to Arbor!
No matter your age, we still all knit in large like our mothers and grandmothers did. It’s a tradition that has seen a proud resurgence in the last decade, and it’s a tradition with a very large amount of history. As true as this is for us, it’s true for Kristin Ford, the founder behind Woolfolk, whose grandmother taught her to knit at the age of 5.
So many of you have gasped in awe over the Spice Market shawl we have had on display in the shop, in eager anticipation of the day Aerie by Shalimar would arrive, and the Spice Market kits sold out months before we even got the yarn. And it’s no wonder, this yarn is an absolute beauty!
The autumn news just keep coming! This week we had a gorgeous delivery come to us all the way from Washington, USA, and we are very proud to introduce you to Spincycle Yarns. Their Dyed In The Wool is just what it sounds like; dyed in the wool.
As if the 2016 summer hadn’t treated us with enough new goodies already, the newest addition to our new Autumn/Winter yarns is the pure luxury bundles from Lux Adorna, in 100% cashmere, carefully selected colour ways and irresistible softness.
It’s celebration time at Loop, and it’s all thanks to you!
